Does the manufacturer of building mixes need BIM integration?

If it does not produce individually identified project elements, this is usually not the main scope. It may require reliable specification, prescription and transfer of the order to an existing production system.

How is project data transfer compatible with current production programs?

There is consensus as to which approved item data is required for the production task and how it is accepted by the application in use. The connection to the project and its changes must remain. Different product types and situations where the design is changed after work has begun are checked before automation can be done.

How to assess the benefits of project data integration?

Manual check and remakes of the item and drawing are measured due to a incorrectly transmitted version. A design error in the structure or subsequent customer change is accounted for separately.

Does the production have to automatically accept every upgrade by the designer?

An affected physical quantity and working state are evaluated. An authorized person confirms whether to continue, stop, remake or apply the change only for later production.

Construction product design and production system integrations

The approved dimensions and specification of the construction product are transferred to production. For design structures, it is possible to track the production and preparation for delivery of a specific element.

The product specification, recipe or design drawing has no proven relationship to the task being passed on to production. Production can begin work on an unapproved or incorrectly transmitted version.

How the solution works

The owner of the product or project data approves a version suitable for production.
The specification and identifier are linked to a specific production task.
The recipient confirms the reception of the data, and false or incomplete communications are transmitted to be corrected.
The change is assessed by the state of work started and the quantity already produced.
For a project element, actual readiness is transmitted with the same verified element connection.

Key challenges

Design data, specifications and production revisions are managed separately
Design elements and production versions not linked

Solution capabilities

Transfer of an approved product

The production task receives a specific version of the recipe, specification or design from the system responsible for the data.

Project-physical element linkage

When a static information model (BIM) is used, its object is linked to the identifier of the production element.

Impact of a change

Determine which tasks or manufactured items are related to the changed information.

Status transfer

Sources of execution and quality provide a confirmed readiness, separating it from the approval of the project.

Business context

Design data, specifications and production revisions are managed separately: The product specification, recipe or design drawing has no proven relationship to the task being passed on to production. Production can begin work on an unapproved or incorrectly transmitted version.
Design elements and production versions not linked: Changes to the BIM model, drawings, element lettering, and production task are transmitted in different ways. A faulty element is produced, delays installation, and increases transport and conversion costs.
Products suitable for the project arrive at the construction site: The dimension, design version and delivery stage of a specific item are important to the customer. By linking specification, production and dispatch readiness, it is easier to check that the right product is being prepared. This helps to avoid a situation where it turns out on the construction site that the item cannot be installed.

Core features

Key integrations

Product specifications and design sources: Approved prescription, drawing or technical package.
Building Model Environment (BIM) when relevant: The project object, its features and version changes.
Enterprise resource planning system (ERP): Order, materials and product identifiers.
Construction materials manufacturing execution system (MES): Task acceptance and actual execution of an item or batch.
Quality and Delivery Processes: The readiness and delivery relationship has been confirmed while maintaining their primary responsibilities.

Potential impact (%)

The ranges indicate an illustrative relative change in the metric under the stated assumptions. Results depend on the starting position and actual use of the solution. Percentages for different metrics must not be added together.

Technical Data Transfer and Verification Work

6–25%Decreasing

This illustrative scenario assumes that 20-50% of waiting caused by missing information or unclear responsibility can be addressed. That share is assumed to fall by 30-50%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable share and the resulting change.

The active time of data transfer and error correction by the recipient is measured.

Cost of conversion due to the non-relevant version transferred to production

3–14%Decreasing

This illustrative scenario assumes that 15-35% of cost variance can be explained and addressed using the measures described. That share is assumed to fall by 20-40%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable share and the resulting change.

The costs of materials, work and additional delivery assigned to this cause are summed up, indicating the volume of orders assessed.

Conditional calculation scenarios. The assumptions have not been validated against client measurements.

When this solution is relevant

The approved change of project does not reach the already started element and its production documents.
The product specification is hand transferred to technological tasks, resulting in some requirements being lost.

Implementation requirements

Product data transfers are compatible versions of the specifications and their application to production tasks. Project elements are additionally described in terms of the effects of the changes on the work started and the transfer to the object; BIM interfaces are based on the project data that is actually being used.
